Beautiful sunny day here... low clouds cleared around 9 a.m.

Happy Tuesday. My wife was mowing our front yard today and she saw a mouse. She played the guillotine today...it was no accident.

I took a look at it on a break and it was def a mouse. Too small to be a rat, but a larger field mouse. We have lots of cats in our area and two indoor. Quite interesting.

Also blizzard conditions with BL rooted convective thundersnow up in the West Virginia mountains. Meanwhile highs have generally been in the 60s here.

Only 75-100 miles away. Different worlds.

+AMO is off the charts now. Analogous to the Pacific/+NPMM horseshoe back in 2015.

[Phil]

Trades/cyclonic flow should increase over the Atlantic during the next week as this -NAO pattern decays, so it’ll weaken some, but I suspect this +AMO regime is here to stay as a low frequency signal in 2023 (and possibly 2024 given post-niño circulation tendencies).

[LowerGarfield]

So far agree with the reports that today seems cooler than expected.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Interesting

PNA…Since I haven’t looked for the last few weeks. 

[TT-SEA]

65 degrees here with barely a cloud in the sky.    Taking time to be outside and get some sun.   Our cottonwoods have taken on their summer look now with deep green, glossy leaves all filled out.    The big leaf maples are the only trees left without leaves now (always the slowest)... but they have very large buds so it shouldn't be too much longer.

[Phishy Wx]

yep we're leafing out too, really kicked into high gear over the weekend.

the apple trees I was afraid were dead after the early killing freezes last year (leaves just shriveled up dead and stuck to the tree all winter) just started blooming too (and finally dropped the dead leaves from last year) so weird

About the same conditions here. The cottonwoods were very fragrant from balsam over the weekend (the warm temperatures were really helping it volatilize).

[LowerGarfield]

74F now.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

55 at Eugene.

Sunny and 74F here.  About average for a July day.  

[Phishy Wx]

up to 77 with about 3 ish more hours of heating.  might get there

[Omegaraptor]

Nice S/N gradient today. Basically everywhere Salem northward is 60 or higher. 57 in Corvallis, 54 Roseburg, and just 52 in Grants Pass.

On the eastside it is 61 at Bend, 57 at Sunriver, and 45 at Klamath Falls.

Up to 70 now... but feels like 80 on the deck.    Good enough for me.    

[Deweydog]

I don’t know what the temperature is at my current location but I feel confident on giving a range of 55-65.

[TT-SEA]

Our lilacs are finally starting to bloom... about 2 weeks later than usual.

[Phishy Wx]

getting close to a record, up to 83

 

edit: ties the record of 83, let's see if we break it

Next warm spell should be well in sight by early next week which will make it a little more palatable. 

[Phishy Wx]

Dogwoods are just starting to bloom in Vancouver. Normally an April thing.

Prayers up. Hopefully we’ll be able to recover after the four days of troughing coming up.
